Another great read about a military mind who knew the country he was fighting for and the true freedom it sought.
"It is no accident that most would choose to associate themselves and the children they loved with the family they had so recently served. This simple but profound statement of shared names across racial lines says more about how both black and white saw their relationship in the antebellum south than I ever can. Family in the South extends far beyond race. In these things I speak only for myself and the people I have known, cared for, and loved in this region. It is my hope that we can and will continue to find a new tomorrow together."

Afternoon w_over_w.
I think the North will never really understand the South, at times we are like two different countries.
